Description

Upgraded to 1.3.0-RC-16, and it does resolve the image issue. However a new multi-cast task issues is seen.

I click the multi-cast button on a group of 5. I confirm my selection. On the Active Task screen I see the multi-cast deploy task for all 5 of the hosts. If I click the “Active Multicast Task” link, there are no multi-cast task.

Basically I missed one point by not including a space where it needed one.

This is now (properly) fixed and patched up so people doing fresh installs will be fine, and people doing upgrades (that had the issue originally) will magically be fixed when they install the latest (when rc 20 gets pushed).

I just used my pre-existing FOG setup at home to test it, I’m using CentOS 7. The commands involved in multicasting don’t differ from one OS to the other though. They all use udp-sender.

The way I just tested is, I put one host in a new group, then through Group Management I picked that group, picked Basic Task, and chose multicast. Then I confirmed the task. The task showed up in Task Management, the host automatically turned on via WOL, and was able to start laying the image on the disk via PartClone just fine.

I also confirmed that udp-sender was infact being used by watching top, udp-sender would be the top-consuming process in top while Partclone was going, and between partitions it’d drop down off the list.

Was anything changed in how FOG starts the udp-sender between RC15,16 and 17? You did a fresh install of RC17 on Ubuntu 14.04 and were able to create a Multicast task? And use that task to image a system?

I’m hesitant to upgrade now that it’s working. Maybe Monday. I did try fresh installs of both 1.3.0-RC-15 and1.3.0-RC-16 during this process without any luck resolving the issue. Only a fresh install of RC13 resolved the issue.
